Naturhistorisches Museum (Vienna)

Almost the mirror image of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the "Natural History Museum" Naturhistorisches Museum was designed hy the same architects, and opened in 1889. Its interior decoration reflects the nature of the collections. These include archaeological, anthropological, mineralogical, zoological, and geological displays.

There are casts of dinosaur skeletons, the world's largest display of skulls illustrating the history of man, one of Europe's most comprehensive collections of gems, prehistoric sculpture, Bronze Age items, and extinct hirds and mammals. In the archaeological section look out for the celehrated Venus of Willendorf, a 24,000-year-old Palaeolithic fertility figurine, and finds from the early Iron Age Venus of Wlllendorf, settlement at Natuthlstorlsches Museum Hallstatt.
